Off topic a bit ...In my case I seldom had data corruption in the swapfile when I was doing quite a bit native compilation under pdaXrom. Swap partition is to prevent file corruption and wearing from spreading all over the card.My 16gb card has two partitions: one big root (1st partition, ~15GB) and one swap (2nd, the rest of the space). Yet I am not sure if this is a good setting or not. Now using OpenBSD on 3200, I am a bit amazed that the swap space is often not used (checking with swapctl -l), unless when running big apps with huge overhead such as firefox. Perhaps it's because of the resource-friendliness of OBSD?For microdrive or HDD, it is advised to put the swap partition as close to the beginning to the drive as possible to improve transfer speed. But flash memory doesn't involve any spinning, so where to put the swap partition may not be an issue. I am no hardware guru at all. Please correct me if i am wrong.
